NO MVTV at the moment !

You may have noticed there are no MVTV episodes going up to the web for you to look at !!!!

Our Tricaster has "packed a sad" and is off to be fixed so we will wait and see how long it will take.
It's on :holiday" in Australia at the moment !

S we will wait and see !

BUT there is more

Thanks to the generous folks at Digital Video Technologies we have a loan Tricaster and we will hopefully get that sorted Tuesday and we MAY have a show this Thursday

So watch this space !

MVTV Magazine pages

We recently got the crew to write something for our school magazine and this is what they came up with - such cool comments and observations - this is why we do MVTV !

Violet  MVTV was the best experience EVER !!! My job was Birthdays. MVTV had so many opportunity's like Assembly Crew and Ulearn. My job in Assembly Crew was lights and basically back up for everything else.
 Constantina  I joined MVTV in Year 7 and I love it, as it gives you so many opportunities like Ulearn and new learning experiences  My first jobs when I joined MVTV were Script and VC pix, these two jobs helped me have a great start to Assembly Crew (as i do Powerpoint) I then moved on to Floor Manager and Sound which helped me a bit with technology, Now I still do Floor Manager and I am also an Exec.  For Assembly Crew I my job is Powerpoint along with Kaitlyn, we do the senior assemblies. So each week we go down to the classes and ask them what their theme is, what they're doing and by Friday we make it all into 1 Powerpoint to show on the Projector.  And a very big Thank you to Mr Gover for letting me join MVTV and giving me all these  opportunities for my learning 

Emma  S.  What I like about MVTV is that you learn about technology things I didn't know and it encourages me that I can be confidant with technology too. I like MVTV and think its really cool.

Kelly. My job in MVTV is 'Graphics'. I create Powerpoints that represent different topics. MVTV offers many opportunities for new learning involving technology and has a large variety of jobs, giving everyone a lot of choices. One thing I enjoyed, was playing the TV show and the Skype call video in the production.
As well as that, I create a Powerpoint page for each class assembly that include hyperlinks to the lyrics of the chosen songs and any other Powerpoints or videos the class would like to show.  MVTV leaves unforgettable experiences with something for everyone.  
 Daniella  My favourite thing about ULearn was the opportunity to go there and all the technical gadgets that I got to see. I also enjoyed talking to the teachers about my role and what we do here at Marina View School. It really motivated me to look more into those types of software and technology.

Jack  Ever wanted to make your own TV show and have fun doing it?! Well that's what we do at MVTV every Tuesday and Thursday morning. People arrive from 7.30am to 8am to do this show. We jobs such as sound,tri-caster,camera and floor manager just to name a few.These jobs are an eye opener to the future and some of the jobs that are available.

Philip  I like MVTV because you get to work with electronics, do lots of jobs and go on trips

Jordan  My highlight of 2015 MVTV was becoming an Exec a year earlier than what you are meant to be.

Yuieong. The best thing about MVTV is to learn new jobs and have opportunities to do new things. I'm excited to learn and do new jobs in the future. 


Tieran. I love MVTV because all of the opportunities it has given me so far at Marina View, I hope at Rangitoto college they have some sort of MVTV, because I loved every Tuesday and Thursday from Year 6-8   

Kaitlyn. MVTV this year has opened so many opportunity's such as Ulearn and new experiences. My favourite part of MVTV this year has been setting up the shows and experiencing all the different jobs MVTV  has to offer. I’m going to miss being in the MVTV crew. 
 During these past 2 years in MVTV  I have been offered so many opportunities such as Ulearn and Assembly crew. MVTV is by far the best extra curriculum activity I've been involved in. I learnt more skills while being in MVTV. The skills I've gained are negotiation , problem solving and finding the most efficient ways to run the show. MVTV is fun and educational and I've enjoyed it thoroughly.  Mia

  I like MVTV because all the opportunities  in MVTV with all the technology especially script. Also I love MVTV because of all the different jobs . Ashely
I am a year 8 and MVTV is an awesome experience to be a part of, because it gives you great life skills and amazing opportunities. My faourite part is to be able be a part of the team. I will miss this next year and thanks so much Mr Gover for letting me be a part of it.  Emma

I like being involved in MVTV because of the nowledge am being able to learn, which is very different to anything I have learnt before. Also I like MVTV because of the jobs that are required when you first start training for MVTV and the opportunities here are very unique and can lead you to a job in the future. 
Another reason I like mvtv is because of the positive energy in the rooms when working on jobs for mvtv, I also like it when we are all able to collaborate our jobs together to make something more bigger and better.  fahima
I think MVTV is an awesome xperience for students to learn about what it's like to work in the TV industry.   I have had a very fun experience in MVTV and I look forward to my next year in MVTV.  I think the Ulearn conference is very good opportunity to show other teachers the things that we learn and do in technology and MVTV.  I would definitely consider doing assembly crew because it gives students the opportunity to help with the assemblies.  Caleb
 Getting the opportunity to help run the show and to learn the technological stuff that people use in their daily life. Before I joined the MVTV Crew I didn't know how to put batteries in, but Mr.Gover and his crew taught me how to with lots of things and without the crew we have now we wouldn't have got this far,so I thank you Mr.Gover for giving me this opportunity. Kiesha
 This year in MVTV I have learnt multiple skills through my jobs such as Sound and Exec. MVTV has also given me plenty of opportunities and experiences such as Assembly Crew and I even worked to teach teachers about MVTV at the U-Learn conference in Auckland.  As a Year 8 I will certainly miss being a part of the shows that happen every Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the terms.  Katarina

The best thing about MVTV is that I could have an opportunity to have new learning. It was also great because I had other team mates to help me carry on even when I did mistakes.  Amy L

Thanks for showing me how to make a real MVTV show , working the TV monitor,and all the technology and learning you taught me. Marina View rocks ! Callum

I really enjoy MVTV because it includes technology and I love technology, you have a fun job to do. I feel really proud that I put work into the show when I can see the final show!  Jack F

MVTV 23 June 2015

Well... the only explanation we had for this mornings show was it was the soundboard !
One of the crew explained it to a teacher as it all turned to custard !

Just before the show the sound went and no matter what we did it didn't work properly....

We did the show but it was not good !

The children all came back at lunchtime and we re did the show - with another old sound board and it went like clockwork ! We had a few glitches during the show but it was still better than before !
We have only had to do this about 4 times in 10 years so thats pretty good

You can view the improved version here - http://youtu.be/j0-Y8HqNvys

MVTV June 18 2015

We had great fun today - we were understaffed as different children were away at sport or had tests or were actually away so we all had to do lots of other jobs to get the show ready.
A great show and you didn't see the kaos behind the scenes

MVTV June 16 2015

Where do we start ??
We didnt have our normal time yesterday to get the show ready so this morning we had 30 minutes to put it all together ! And the crew were all here at 7:30 this morning knowing what we had to do !
We had script sort of finished, the videos done and then no graphics, and Tessa finished them for us !
Everyone worked solidly for 35 minutes and got it all done !
A mammoth task and we succeeded !

Well done to the MVTV crew !

then we had to sort presenters so the crew stepped in and did it !

Double well done !

We had some issues with the Camilla output for the weather but it seemed to resolve itself by the real show.. we are suspecting the converter box so we must look into that deeper !

MVTV 28 May 2015

Wow ! its already the end of May and its been 6 weeks with the new crew
They are starting to ask if they can learn a new job as well so we actually encourage them to do this. We want them to have at least 2 jobs, maybe 3 so that if someone is away someone else can step in and do it !

If there is nothing else the MVTV crew learn it's - "where is the back up?"
This is for everything in MVTV - if something (or someone) fails !
"where's the backup ?"

Our main computer has obviously listened well as we threatened it with a drop kick if it didnt do a complete record session - and it did !

MVTV April 30 2015

Well... where do we start - we turned everything on from last Tuesdays show and the cameras didnt have feed... basic panic but the camera crew and tricaster were great at problem solving and we put in an old cable to try it out. We got feed so it wasnt the tricaaster or the camera so it had to be the cable !
We followed it back and - YES !!!  the joiners had given out so we pushed them together and we have COLOUR as well as PICTURE !
That process took 20 minutes and that was while the rest of the crew were doing the practice too !
Well done to the camera crew.
Never dull round here !

Do TVNZ have this hassle ??

probably YES

We will be posting some of the more recent ones ASAP and working through the rest so come back to see what has been happening at school.

Wednesday, February 25, 2015

Technical Difficulties

We haven't posted our shows because the computer we use to record the shows in AVI and convert to mp4 has "spat the dummie" and we have to get a replacement so at some time soon there will be a flurry of MVTV shows coming on line.
We are still broadcasting twice a week and recording it to DVD HD - we just need to get it that one step further
Thanks for the emails and we will post the shows when we get things sorted.

The MVTV Crew

Wednesday, February 11, 2015

3 February 2015

2015 and it is 7:30 in the morning.
The new MVTV crew are all eagerly waiting to start the show.

It was the first show for the year and we had just finished the new server upgrade.

Lots of testing was done but we over looked a few things with MVTV - presuming it would all flow through.

We had mega trouble and tried to solve it all before the show and found out lots of things in the meantime. Some of our software doesn't like Windows 7 so we need to work on that.

But, in a truely professional manner, the crew did their best and presented the show. What you didn't see on the show was all the hassles we had behind the scenes.

But that is all a learning curve so we all learnt heaps !

You can view the first show on Youtube with this link as it is unlisted.
